Love these headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is such a minor detail but I love how the sound slowly "melts away" when you turn on noise cancelling. It's borderline magical! I wear glasses and I take them off when I wear these headphones since the extra seal they produce even make the noise cancelling even better!

Very good, very expensive wireless headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you can stomach the price, they sound great and the wireless connection is quite good. (Not AS convenient as other headphones; if you use the LDAC codec you can't use multipoint connections.) They sound just a bit cleaner than the XM4 but lose some of the bass punch. I prefer my Shure Aonic 50s for listening to music, but these are still great. The carrying case is also notably bulkier than the XM4s, as these don't fold in on themselves. They look fairly cool, and are pretty comfortable for hours on end, but - especially since it has touch controls - the black finish collects fingerprint oil very fast (seems the silver has a different texture/feel and doesn't have that problem). Fast charging, good battery life, decently low latency despite not being Apt-X-LL. They do actually perform great as headphones for phone calls, vastly better than others I've tried. No one has yet said anything negative about the call quality. The carrying case is bulkier than the XM4.

Excellent headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my favorite pair of over ear headphones. Sony never fails with their sound quality and ANC. The only con is they don’t fold into a smaller package. But other than that they are excellent headphones at a competitive price.

Best headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very excellent headphones! I bought them specifically for my 18 hour flight and let me tell you - best decision I EVER made. I went from very cheap noise-canceling headphones to these and the difference is so noticeable. These headphones make it so I forget entirely that surrounding noises are taking place. The sound of audio is crisp, clear, and the base is booming - something I really appreciate. You can tinker with audio setting in the headset app if needed. Overall this headphone is the best set I've ever had and the white color is so sleek and stylish. And battery life goes for at least 2 days for my needs.

ANOTHER BANGER BY SONY
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] I loved my 1000XM3s. They were my daily driver headphones for over 2 years. When they finally died on me, I decided to try the Apple AirPods Max. Wow what a mistake that was. They were bulky, heavy, and did not sound nearly as good as I would have hoped for their cost. I returned the AirPods for these Sonys, which were on sale for about half the price of the AirPods. These sound SO MUCH more premium and are infinitely more comfortable. I wish these would fold up a little smaller, but I have no real complaints about them. I love that I can use these as Bluetooth or with an INCLUDED aux cable.

Sony WH-1000XM5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was debating between the Sony and Apple headphones. I am an Apple girly through and through, but I went with Sony and haven’t regretted it at all! These headphones are great! They sound amazing and the functionality of them is so convenient. All the gestures you have to increase or decrease volume, skip or go back it’s so convenient. You can also toggle between music if you’re trying to hear someone or something. By placing your hand on your right ear music decreases for you. The battery life is unmatched and the charge time is the fastest I’ve encountered. All in all see for yourself, it’s a great buy and you get your money’s worth!
